    Leah, or Leou as her friends call her is a South Dakota native. She describes herself as an affordable psychiatrist since she started reading books out of curiosity for the deeper exploration of the subconscious. She later studied psychology and criminology in NY, but she returned to her hometown when the family business was at risk of closing.

    Ten years later, she writes books to capture the feelings of every major life event she encountered so far. Thankfully, her romantic nature considers everything to be important resulting in immense writing activity! In her spare time, she provides online counseling for free to women in need.

    She considers her marriage to be a great adventure and as her husband recalls “every time we argue she comes back later with a new book based on our disagreements set in a different century!”

    She considers books the best way to support female empowerment! When not writing, she will cook and take long walks with her children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do secrets ever remain secrets?
Reviewed in the United States on 3 July 2022
Verified Purchase
An enchanting, clean romance story. Lady Laurel and Duke Philip, both uninterested in marriage meet at a ball, and are instantly attracted to each other. There are many other women striving to be Philip’s next duchess, as well. Unbeknownst to Laurel and Philip, her father and his mother have secrets which involve pain, betrayal and revenge. The secrets and revenge tactics interfere with the couple’s romance. Laurel and Philip had a very emotional and heart wrenching path to navigate before achieving their dreams. The story moved quickly, and anticipated drama, bitterness and miscommunications were woven in to add to the elements of the story. I received a complimentary ARC, but I am voluntarily offering my personal opinion.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2022

Too much chat too little action. A duke meets & falls in live with a lady who it turns out is the daughter of his mothers lost love. Her father behaves like a 6 year old bent on revenge. It is not until 3 quarters of the way through the book that we actually get an inkling of what happened between them which left the reader rather frustrated. The author also needs to learn how to address ladies of the aristocracy. The endless mistakes were irritating. (e.g Jane Smith unmarried daughter of an earl or above is Lady Jane NOT Lady Smith. Lady Smith is a married title such as the wife of Lord Smith or Sir John Smith)

3.0 out of 5 stars Hastily written, scarcely edited
Reviewed in the United States on 8 July 2022

It must be great joy to be a published author, and one with as many as Ms Conolly has, many award winning. This book had great promise, an interesting plot and characters. However, the writing was sloppy and editing was nonexistent. Misused words, typos, repeated phrases abound. Particularly jarring was the characters saying “okay” repeatedly, along with modern slang such as “zoned out”. Perhaps she should slow down her book output and put more effort into polishing the prose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Regency romance and intrigue
Reviewed in the United States on 14 July 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed this Regency romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. His is a young Duke, and must sell some land to save his family. He falls for the daughter of the Earl buying the land. Then they find out her father and his mother had a past. There was a lot of drama, but the ending was great. I voluntarily reviewed an advance review copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well written regency novel with an interesting plot
Reviewed in the United States on 13 July 2022
Verified Purchase
This book's plot is quite unique and has much to recommend. Philip inherits a penniless duchy while his mother's former love and Laurel's father, the Earl of Clifton, purchases one of their main properties in the same town in which Philip and his mother resided. This was not by coincidence, but for revenge!

One must read the story to discover the why. The only con is that the thought dialog is rather long in places. Other than that, it is a captivating read.
